Longdog Audio VDT1 DAC

Designed by Nick Gorham, the Longdog Audio VDt1 Digital to Analogue converter is now available at MCRU. Recently demo’d at the sound + vision show in Bristol, the DAC is DSD ready and will handle files up to 24/192. Featuring many unique properties that make it stand out from the competition, the DAC’s specification is un-rivalled at this price point.

DAC:

AK4396 DAC selected for best subjective sound when used in balanced out mode.
DAC powered by two ultra low noise voltage regulators.
I2S and DSD input isolated from receiver to avoid noise transfer between stages.
Analog output from DAC taken directly to output buffer, no op-amps, capacitors or additional solid state devices in the signal path once it has left the DAC chip.
